Gravel Patio gravel replacement service
Homeowner’s Issue
Gravel yards in Gravel take a beating from frequent Pacific Northwest rain, compacting and washing fines into drains while encouraging moss and weeds. Many homes sit on compacted clay or silty loam that sheds water unpredictably, so poorly graded gravel creates puddles, mud, and trip hazards. Sun exposure varies block by block — north-facing yards keep moss and weeds longer, while sunny slopes shed fines faster and need more topping material. Slopes and curb edges often lose gravel into gutters and streets, creating messy margins and municipal complaints. Homeowners want low-maintenance surfaces that drain well, stay tidy through winter storms, and look good from the street. As a local crew serving Gravel and nearby West Seattle and Alki, we focus on sustainable fixes: proper regrading, recycled or washed stone, landscape fabric options, and organic weed control. That reduces repeat visits and keeps curb appeal steady without herbicides.

We remove old, contaminated gravel, regrade for correct slope and drainage, add fabric where appropriate, and install washed aggregate sized for long-term stability. Work is done with hand care and light equipment to protect soil and nearby plantings. Benefits: safer walking surfaces, better storm drainage, lasting curb appeal, and low upkeep.
